Snowman Memories

One Christmas, several years ago, a craft-oriented sister and her husband gave us an adorable snowman for the kitchen.

He carries a very endearing message and you can read it in the photos in this post.

He's got  the most darling face and is just a spot of cheerfulness in the kitchen.

The bittersweet partof memories, however, is that my brother-in-law died very early in life of pancreatic cancer.

I still love to pull the little snowman out to help adorn the kitchen but when I see him, my heart is so sad over the loss of guy as sweet and great as my brother-in-law.

For sure, he's looking down on us from the other world and smiling, just like that little snowman keepsake!
